WARNING
q
Start the engine only after sitting down in the operator's
seat.
q
Do not attempt to start the engine by short-circuiting the
engine starting circuit. Such an act may cause serious
bodily injury or fire.
q
Check that there are no persons or obstacles in the sur-
rounding area, then sound the horn and start the engine.
q
Exhaust gas is toxic. When starting the engine in con-
fined spaces, be particularly careful to ensure good ven-
tilation.
NOTICE
q
Before starting the engine, check that the fuel control dial is at the low idling (MIN) position.
If the fuel control dial is at the FULL position, the engine will accelerate suddenly and cause damage
to the engine parts.
q
Do not crank the starting motor continuously for more than 20 seconds.
If the engine does not start, wait for at least 2 minutes before trying again.
REMARK
If the engine is stopped when it is not fully warmed up and it is started again a few minutes later, there may be a
delay in the engine rotation during cranking. This is caused by fuel gas remaining inside the cylinder; it does not
indicate any abnormality. In addition, even if this phenomenon occurs, there is no problem with the reliability or
durability of the engine or other parts.
1. Check lock lever (1) is at the LOCK position (L). If the lock
lever is in the FREE position (F), the engine does not start.
